40 years

Not the age of the people in the photo but the period the gentleman on the right - Ian Hart - who has served as a volunteer panel member taking decisions about vulnerable children.

On the left is the Acting Minister of Children and Young People Fiona McLeod who kindly attended the Long Service Award evening tonight. 63 Panel members were recognised for having hit 20, 25, 30, 35 years. But Ian is the only 40 year recipient.

An inspiring (but late) evening!
